Aspirations in a warming world
The role of climate and loan financing information on solar irrigation adoption among cocoa farmers in Ghana
While climate change poses increasing risks to cocoa production, the adoption of irrigation in Ghana's cocoa sector remains low. In this context, this study examined farmers' preferences for climate and loan financing information for solar irrigation adoption. A discrete choice experiment was conducted with cocoa farmers across seven regions of Ghana. In treatment groups, we varied the availability of major season consecutive dry days information…
Realities of using self-administered smartphone surveys to solve sustainability challenges
To fill data gaps in human-environment systems, especially in difficult-to-access locations, novel tools are needed to collect (near) real-time data from diverse populations across the globe. Here we discuss the practicalities, constraints, and lessons learnt from six field studies using high spatial and temporal smartphone surveys in six different countries. We suggest that high spatiotemporal, self-administered smartphone surveys will produce n…

Understanding pastoralist adaptations to drought via games and choice experiments
Transhumant and nomadic pastoralism in arid and semi-arid spaces from West through Central, East, and Southern Africa is regarded as critical to regional system resilience and food security. Although pastoral systems are highly adapted and adaptive to uncertainty and change, recent decades of severe climatic events and increasing resource pressure are pushing pastoral systems to adopt novel norms and practices. Importantly, forage residue conserv…

When does new information encourage adoption, and where can we observe it
Migration Theory in Climate Mobility Research
The purpose of this article is to explore how migration theory is invoked in empirical studies of climate-related migration, and to provide suggestions for engagement with theory in the emerging field of climate mobility. Theory is critical for understanding processes we observe in social-ecological systems because it points to a specific locus of attention for research, shapes research questions, guides quantitative model development, influences…
An experimental game to examine pastoralists' preferences for human–lion coexistence strategies
Reconciling conflicts between wildlife conservation and other human activities is a pervasive, multifaceted issue. Large carnivores, such as the African lion Panthera leo are often the focus of such conflicts as they have significant ecological and cultural value but impose severe social and financial costs on the communities that live alongside them. To effectively manage human–lion conflict, it is vital to understand stakeholder decision‐making…
Neighbourhood deprivation and intersectional inequalities in biomarkers of healthy ageing in England
While social and spatial determinants of biomarkers have been reported, no previous study has examined both together within an intersectional perspective. We present a novel extension of quantitative intersectional analyses using cross-classified multilevel models to explore how intersectional positions and neighbourhood deprivation are associated with biomarkers, using baseline UK Biobank data (collected from 2006 to 2010). Our results suggest i…
Experimental evidence for conservation conflict interventions
Conflicts between the objectives of agricultural production and conservation are becoming increasingly complex. Of vital importance to the success of conflict interventions is a detailed understanding of how stakeholders react to management interventions as well as the influence of interacting social and political factors. Across Europe, goose populations have increased considerably, leading to widespread impacts on agriculture and significant co…
Migration towards Bangladesh coastlines projected to increase with sea-level rise through 2100
To date, projections of human migration induced by sea-level change (SLC) largely suggest large-scale displacement away from vulnerable coastlines. However, results from our model of Bangladesh suggest counterintuitively that people will continue to migrate toward the vulnerable coastline irrespective of the flooding amplified by future SLC under all emissions scenarios until the end of this century. We developed an empirically calibrated agent-b…
How high frequency food diaries can transform understanding of food security
Globally, around 2 billion people are affected by moderate to severe food insecurity. The linkages from food security through to environmental sustainability are well established, but not yet well measured. This is a critical gap, as it hampers our understanding of how environmental shocks carry through to become consumption shocks to households, communities, or regions; how responses to these shocks (e.g., dietary substitutions) feed back into f…

Precision Agriculture for Smallholder Nitrogen Management
Assessing recall bias and measurement error in high-frequency social data collection for human-environment research
A major impediment to understanding human-environment interactions is that data on social systems are not collected in a way that is easily comparable to natural systems data. While many environmental variables are collected with high frequency, gridded in time and space, social data is typically conducted irregularly, in waves that are far apart in time. These efforts typically engage respondents for hours at a time, and suffer from decay in par…
Temporal dimensions of reported life satisfaction in a low-income, agricultural environment

Early adoption of conservation agriculture practices
Payments discourage coordination in ecosystem services provision
The contribution of synthetic pesticides to closing yield gaps around the world is undeniable; however, their use is also a classic double-edged sword. Beyond the well-recognized social costs (e.g., pollution to soil and water, and health effects both on consumers and other species) there are also private costs on farmers beyond the direct costs of inputs, associated with elevated risks of both acute and chronic damage to farmers’ health, and wit…

Water management and livelihood choices in southwestern Bangladesh
Increased water charges improve efficiency and equity in an irrigation system
Conventional wisdom in many agricultural systems across the world is that farmers cannot, will not, or should not pay the full costs associated with surface water delivery. Across Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, only a handful can claim complete recovery of operation, maintenance, and capital costs; across Central and South Asia, fees are lower still, with farmers in Nepal, India, and Kazakhstan paying fra…

Stylised fact or situated messiness? The diverse effects of increasing debt on national economic growth
This article reanalyses data used by Reinhart and Rogoff (2010c, American Economic Review, 100: 573–78—RR), and later Herndon et al. (2013, Cambridge Journal of Economics, online, doi: 10.1093/cje/bet075) to consider the relationship between growth and debt in developed countries. The consistency over countries and the causal direction of RR’s so called ‘stylised fact’ is considered. Using multilevel models, we find that when the effect of debt o…

How does Diversity Matter? The Case of Brazilian River Basin Councils
Diversity as a concept has often been perceived as a positive system attribute to pursue and protect. However, in some social settings, the way different kinds of diversity shape outcomes can vary significantly. Diversity of ideas and individuals sometimes can lead to disagreement and conflict, which in turn can lead to both positive and negative outcomes. In this study, we examine identity diversity, i.e., age, income, education, worldviews, etc…

A long-term perspective on a modern drought in the American Southeast
The depth of the 2006-9 drought in the humid, southeastern US left several metropolitan areas with only a 60-120 day water supply. To put the region's recent drought variability in a long-term perspective, a dense and diverse tree-ring network—including the first records throughout the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint river basin—is used to reconstruct drought from 1665 to 2010 CE. The network accounts for up to 58.1% of the annual variance in wa…
